one star for attention
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has to be one of the best soundbars in the $150.00 price range. It makes regular tv sound louder and clear. But then put on a DVD and the sound is amazing. I cannot imagine what the S60B would sound like. I like the fact it has no cloth to collect dust. I like the size and shape. I wish samsung would make their TVs to show the soundbar settings on the TV screen, that would be super cool. I love this 26 inch speaker and if you need more power, get the S60B. How could they improve this? Add a 4K hdmi passthru and produce more all in one soundbars in different lenghts so more people had options.

Samsung - HW-S50B 3.0 Channel S-Series All-in-one
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Writing this review after approx. 2 months of use. Love this soundbar! My TV speakers were acting up when using Apps and there was static and loss of volume. Until I could get someone to come and repair the TV, the only solution I could come up with was to buy a soundbar. Just so happened that this soundbar was on sale. It’s an All-in-One soundbar, so you don’t have a big woofer box taking up additional space (which I dislike). Sound quality and volume it provides is excellent. So glad I made this purchase. Highly recommend this soundbar!

First soundbar
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First soundbar I've had so can't compare it to others. Only had it for a few days. Set up was easy enough, but using the remote can be difficult. Learning all one can do can be challenging. One thing that bothers me is the volume control on the remote doesn't work. If I have to change the level of sound I have do it at the soundbar itself, which can be tiresome. If I want to hear the surround sound on it I will probably have to turn the volume up more than I have already. Just don't want to bother the neighbors. Good base to it.

Sound bar with center channel
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this Sound bar with center channel because we had so much difficulty understanding the speaking in movies and shows we would watch. It was explained that the flatscreens all have relatively cheap speakers in them and they are facing downward and that by having the sound bar at the bottom projecting out toward us would help the recommendation for the center channel I was told his tune specifically for voice so with that said we were expecting may be more than it is able to deliver it does to better if we increase the volume to a little higher level than we are used to but that seems to be what it takes in order to make out all the dialogue The fact that this sound bar doesn’t require a remote base is a positive for us in our house. Overall I think this sound bar is a little expensive as compared to others but the center sound channel is a must

Control, and then set the audio delay between 0~300 milliseconds by using the Up/Down buttons.
(Not available in “USB” or “Bluetooth” mode.)
– “Sync” is only supported for some functions.
– “Night mode” is optimized for night time viewing with the settings adjusted to bring the volume down but keep the dialog clear.
– “Voice enhancement” makes it easier to hear spoken dialog in movies and TV.
By pressing the SOUND MODE button, you can select the desired audio mode. Each time the mode changes, the Multicolor LED blinks in white. (The sound mode may differ with the TV model.)
